Search Results: still just friends

So, lately I’ve been thinking about starting a club at school. I want to name it “R. O. L. E. S.” as in everyone has or plays a role in someone else’s life. It stands for “Roles Of Love, Empathy, and Service”.

The premise is that we do acts of service and kindness for communities that really need that love or extra support. It will also be a way for students to gain community service hours.

Yes, I want to build a strong community within the club, but I also want everyone to feel like they don’t have to interact with other people they don’t know ALL of the time. I want to be able to provide activities that don’t need people to interact with other people directly and have them still get community service/activism hours for it.

My vision is that there’ll be different layers to it, or two different groups working on projects. What I want to do is: have people who don’t want to interact with others (like at fairs or other school events) do all of the background or set up work. Those who don’t mind taking to others can sign up to speak with others. Anyone is open and welcomed to do both or just one. This way, everyone can participate in any way they’d like, get hours, and feel comfortable doing it.

I’m posting this to ask if anyone thinks it’s a good idea to do this. I’m not sure if there’s a club similar to this in my school, so it’s definitely just an idea for now.

Also, if it does happen to be a good idea, does anyone have any ideas as to which programs/communities we could reach out to in order to help?

I want to do acts of kindness in this club. For example, we could have a day where we hand out roses to people whose names got written down by a friend who asked us to give it to that person. Maybe, we could write cards to the elderly. We could also help suicide prevention hotlines (though I don’t know we’d get to that point of permission).

If anyone has ANY ideas for as to what we could do, please let me know.

I’m open to any feedback. Thank you for reading.
